lyrics

Remember the summer
you and your brother left me standing on the stairs?
that night we'd set off fireworks
your neighbors, they called the cops
and we hid

we laughed until we lost our breaths
wondered if the cops would find us in our sleeping bags
I said at least we'd have each other in our cold jail cells and laughed

I still remember you as that little kid
crazy dancing under the stairs
I still love you the same way I did
my helpless heart, it is what it is

Do you remember when we pushed each other in shopping carts down that hill?
you let me go of me, I flew into a garden
ripped jeans and blood everywhere

We laughed until we lost our breaths
wondered if someone would find us
and wiped our tears
we said at least we'd have each other
we hid from every cop we saw for years

I still remember you as that little kid
crazy dancing under the stairs
I still love you the same way I did
my helpless heart, it is what it is

I hope you don't forget the feeling
the touch of the breeze
through our dirty ripped jeans
I hope you don't forget how it felt
to be carefree with someone else
I hope you still feel happy
and when you can't stop laughing
I hope you think about me
I hope you know I still feel it in the trees
our childhood weaves through them
I still feel those dreams

I still remember it
I still remember you
my helpless heart
it is what it's always been
my helpless heart, it is what it is
